Chart notes

BEHIND THE COUCH, under a snug hold off the early pace, moved up three wide around the far turn, angled five to six wide through the upper stretch and finished well to be clear under strong handling. COMBAT QUEEN stalked the early pace, race near the inside around the far turn, led inside the eighth pole couldn't hold off the winner in the latter stages to finish second best. BOURBON WILDCAT was quick to begin to take the early lead while racing in hand, raced off the inside and weakened the final eighth of a mile. JOURNEYTOTHEMOON bore out sharply at the break, corrected and was allowed to settle early, raced five wide through the upper stretch and had no late rally. LUCRE dropped back early, raced four wide around the far turn, angled in late and had no response. FACTOR IN stalked the pace while racing three wide and tired.
